Nation's Business Schools Breathe Life into Economically Disadvantaged Communities
Our nation's poorest communities are poised for growth, but planting seeds to cultivate successful businesses in these areas is difficult without access to capital and management expertise. Enter our nation's business schools who, through a variety of initiatives, are positively impacting the economic vitality of disadvantaged neighborhoods. For example, University of Washington's Business and Economic Development Program helped create more than 125 jobs and generate nearly $3 million in value-added revenue to Seattle's Central Area.
